At ten o'clock in the evening, the crew finished filming for the day. After the crew cleaned up the set, they dragged their tired bodies back to the hotel.
Xiao Yunhai followed Wu Zixu into his room, followed by two assistant directors. One was Niu Gong, who was one of Wu Zixu's people and followed Wu Zixu's lead. The other was someone from the production side, named Feng Shishi. In fact, he was only a supervisor, mainly in charge of accounting, and did not manage the shooting side of things.
After the three of them sat down, Wu Zixu made a few more phone calls. Not long after, two men and a woman came in.
Xiao Yunhai knew all three of them. One of them was a senior in the film industry, Huang Qiusheng, who had won countless awards. He played the role of Dong Pingjiang, the leader of the Eight Trigrams School. He had several scenes with Xiao Yunhai, and one of them even had a big fight. Xiao Yunhai saw his performance in the afternoon. He was definitely good at acting, but he didn't know how the fight scene would turn out.
The other person was Xue Ming, who was 37 or 38 years old. Because he practiced martial arts all year round, he maintained his body very well. His eyes were bright, his face was serious, and he didn't smile much.
The last person was the international movie queen Yu Yuexian. According to age, she should be 34 or 35 years old, but the traces of time didn't show on her face.
She was wearing a lavender dress, and her full chest pushed the dress up high, showing off her enchanting figure. Her long black hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, and when she smiled, a small dimple appeared on her delicate face. She looked beautiful, generous, and had an extraordinary aura. Feng Shishu didn't know how many times he swallowed his saliva.
However, he didn't dare to have any ideas about Yu Yuexian. Not to mention others, just her father, the real estate tycoon Yu Hai, was enough to make anyone who wanted to have any ideas about her retreat.
The male lead, Zhang Xiaojing, didn't come. Although he was the male lead, his status in the entertainment industry was obviously not enough.
He didn't know why, but Xiao Yunhai felt that Xue Ming seemed to be hostile towards him. Even though he concealed it very well and greeted him when he came in, as a martial artist with some success in martial arts, Xiao Yunhai could still feel the hidden coldness in Xue Ming's smile.
Huang Qiusheng and Yu Yuexian gave Xiao Yunhai a good impression. The two of them didn't put on airs like superstars. After coming in, they smiled at him. Huang Qiusheng even patted him on the shoulder, which made Xiao Yunhai feel a little flattered.
After the three of them were seated, everyone was present. Xiao Yunhai's second audition was about to begin.
Wu Zixu said, "Yunhai, you've read the script. I want to know what you think of the role of Wang Zi Feng. What kind of image do you want him to have? "
"Director Wu." Xue Ming interrupted Wu Zixu expressionlessly and said, "I think my subordinate, Huo Gang, is quite suitable for this role. Shouldn't you give him a chance too? "
Wu Zixu frowned. Huo Gang was not a suitable candidate to play Wang Zi Feng, whether in terms of appearance or temperament.
Feng Shi saw Wu Zixu's expression and chuckled. He said, "Director Wu, I think it's better to let Huo Gang come over and try. We'll choose the best one between the two of them. What do you think? "
Wu Zixu looked at the two of them thoughtfully. He didn't know when the two of them got together, but he couldn't refuse at the moment. He said, "In that case, let Huo Gang come over."
Xue Ming was delighted. He quickly made a phone call and said, "Wait for another ten minutes. He'll be here."
Xiao Yunhai saw the situation and understood. No wonder Xue Ming was hostile to him. It turned out that he had unintentionally blocked his brother's path this time. Moreover, the producer's representative seemed to be on his side.
Xiao Yunhai knew very well that unless he gave up, there was no possibility of reconciliation between him and Xue Ming. This was a dead knot. The contradiction was irreconcilable. Xue Ming should be his biggest enemy in the crew.
Fortunately, Director Wu didn't seem to be optimistic about Huo Gang. Huang Qiusheng and Yu Yuexian also seemed to have a good impression of him. This gave him a chance.
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Director Wu, I don't think we should waste any more time. Let's audition me first. When Mr. Huo comes over, I think it'll be almost done. When the time comes, we can let him come. "
Wu Zixu nodded and said, "Then I'll let you go first. Tell us your understanding of Wang Zi Feng first. "
Hearing Wu Zixu's words, he smiled slightly. Sure enough, whether it was in his previous life or this life, the first question of the audition was to ask the actor's understanding of the role. Xiao Yunhai had a card up his sleeve.
"I'll simply tell you my understanding. If there are any mistakes, please give me some pointers. I think Wang Zi Feng is a true grandmaster of Xing Yi Martial Arts. He is broad-minded, well-versed in both literature and martial arts. He is loyal to his country, filial to his master, righteous to his junior brothers, and extremely caring to his master's only son. After his teacher's death, he single-handedly supported the Xing Yi Sect. He fought with the powerful cultivators who came to challenge the sect. He did this for the sake of his junior martial brothers who had yet to grow up. At the same time, he had to endure the humiliation. He didn't care that the protagonist didn't understand and tried his best to stop him from taking revenge. He only felt relieved when the protagonist learned something. He abandoned his life and let go of the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for many years. When he found out that it was a conspiracy by the Japanese, he was able to consider the big picture. He risked his life to come back and report the news. That was how the martial arts masters united and fought against the Japanese. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the link between the past and the future in the script. His importance is definitely not below that of the protagonist. "
"If I were to play this role, I would portray his mentality in depth. I would portray his hatred for the enemy, his love for his master, and the contradiction of him having to endure humiliation even though he wants to take revenge. That's all I'll say. If there are any mistakes, please give me some pointers. "
Wu Zixu nodded and said to Huang Qiusheng, "Old Huang, what do you think?"
Huang Qiusheng looked at Xiao Yunhai approvingly and said, "If it were me, that would be the best. However, if it's all talk and no action, we still have to see how good his acting is. "
Wu Zixu smiled and said, "That's what I thought. Yunhai, you passed the first question. Now it's time to see how good your acting is. How about this? You can act out the part where Wang Zi Feng stopped his junior brother from taking revenge. "
When Huang Qiusheng heard this, he looked at Wu Zixu in surprise. Wu Zixu was very optimistic about Xiao Yunhai, and Huang Qiusheng could still feel this point. The so-called audition, in his mind, was just an explanation to the producers, and it would be over just by casually fooling around.
He never thought that Wu Zixu would choose such a difficult part. It must be known that this part was the part where Wang Zi Feng's emotions exploded the most intensely in the entire script. Even an ordinary second-tier actor might not be able to pass it in one try, let alone Xiao Yunhai, who had never officially filmed a movie.
Although Xue Ming was expressionless, he was secretly delighted. He glanced at the assistant director, Feng Shishi, who was sitting upright and still, thinking that he was the one who pressured Wu Zixu. But when he saw his slightly stunned expression, he dispelled this idea.
Could it be that Director Wu didn't like Xiao Yunhai at all? But due to some reasons, he couldn't say it out loud, so he deliberately let him audition to make him retreat? But it didn't seem like it.
